Crown Molding

Definition

A decorative finish that adds interest to the area where the top of a window meets the wall, or lines the area where the wall meets the ceiling.

Things you need to know

If you are using a material that dents easily, or if you are painting or staining it, it is a good idea to purchase extra in case of mistakes.

Cost Considerations

Crown molding varies widely in cost depending on the material, from less than $1 per linear foot for wood, to $50 per linear foot for plaster.

Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
